Guillem Ballague on Villa to Chelsea rumors
David Villa has not ruled out Chelsea switch.
Up until now, it had always appeared most likely that David Villa would be staying in Spain; however, following a recent approach from Stamford Bridge, the Valencia striker now refuses to rule out a move to Chelsea...
One of our readers, CFCMick has asked: Guillem, There were recent reports linking David Villa to Chelsea, but Hiddink tried to deny it. Do you know if there was ever any truth in it? And do you think it could happen?
I am aware that those reports were denied, but I can also tell you that no matter what has since been claimed; Chelsea did make an official approach to Valencia for David Villa. I also know that key members of the Chelsea squad have been in touch with David Villa in order to try and persuade him to join them.
Do I think it could happen?
Well, the Spain striker is aware of the interest from Stamford Bridge and, whereas in the past he has always spoken of his desire to stay in Spain – at the moment he refuses to rule out a move to Chelsea.
Valencia would sell David Villa for a fee in the region of €35-40 million– so with that in mind, anything is possible. However, while he refuses to rule out a move to Chelsea, he would still prefer a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Intermediaries from Barcelona also made contact with Valencia in the past week or so regarding a summer move for David Villa – and the striker is most certainly a target. However, much may still depend upon the future of Samuel Eto’o and the finances available.
With regard to Real Madrid, it is practically impossible to say: with a presidential campaign about to get underway, the situation is far too unpredictable for anyone to secure a deal with Villa until the new regime – whoever that may be – has taken charge of the club. In other words, until David Villa knows who is going to be taking control at the Bernabeu, he won’t be committing to Real Madrid.
